Gu Qing Shan looked at the man.
A round face, a large beard, a scar on the outside of his left eye that seemed to have been cut by some sort of weapon, a man of around 20 years of age.
There was an insignia emblazoned on his pauldron.
A black background with yellow patterns, a shield shaped like a lion and an eagle.
After searching through her memories for a bit, Gu Qing Shan recalled the origin of this insignia.
This was the insignia of the Duchy's military minister, Count Heath.
In this world, the clans of the Duchy revolved around the Deity they worshipped, absorbing those of the same faith to become a part of their organization and work for them.
In other words, this man was a knight of the Count's manor.
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "How may I be of service, your excellency?"
"Ahaha, it's nothing, my family's sir has a few troublesome matters to deal with. I was thinking that if you can mature for a few more years and learn that technique from the Condemnation Codex, you might be able to help us" the man answered honestly.
— — -so that's what it was.
Seems like they've already asked around and found out that only a Condemner can solve their problem.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "As long as it's not something evil, I can accept it right now"
The man was overjoyed and said: "Young master Rhode, I know of you, but I didn't know that you've become a Condemner. I am the Knight Captain of the Heath family, Moore"
He pointed behind him — —
Rows of neatly armored warriors appeared from the void one after another.
"These brothers are my subordinates, we belong to Count Heath's second knight group, we were selected to guard the border near your area this year"
Gu Qing Shan greeted them one by one.
As Moore was about to say something else, he and Gu Qing Shan both went silent.
Everyone looked up.
Only to see a crimson shadow slowly descending from the sky.
This shadow covered the entire sky, causing everyone to feel an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
"What is this? Have you ever seen such a thing before? "Moore asked.
"We don't have such a thing here" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Viscount envoy also scowled: "Such a gigantic shadow, what exactly is — — -"
He abruptly went silent.
Two circular blood-red rays of light appeared from the phantom and directly hit the stone floor in front of everyone.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle — Pipa —
The ground gave off a cracking sound, layer by layer turning into fine powder.
The two blood-colored lights moved together, sweeping back and forth in the small town.
Everywhere the light passed, everything transformed into ash and vanished on the spot.
"What kind of spell is this!?" Crow couldn't help but shout.
Moore abruptly turned around and looked at one of the knights. "I remember you're a believer of the God of Secrets and Truth"
The knight was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He said while trembling, "Sir, I've already checked. This is a gaze, a gaze!"
At the end, he couldn't help but cry out involuntarily.
There was dead silence.
— His gaze.
In other words, the crimson shadow that covered the sky was actually some kind of creature?
Everyone couldn't help but look up again.
In the sky, the crimson shadow was still scanning the entire town.
It seemed to be looking for something.
As the worlds overlapped, its body gradually solidified, almost as if it was about to descend from another world.
Moore gulped and muttered: "His gaze alone is so powerful, damn it, what exactly is this?"
Gu Qing Shan's mind turned and silently held the Earth sword.
At this point, no one was paying attention to him.
Gu Qing Shan held the Earth sword tightly, looked at the crimson shadow, and focused his mind.
A line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Activating [Earth's Choice] to completely eliminate this extinct monster of infinite worlds will consume the following Soul Points:]
“？？？？？”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This is …
Unmeasurable?
This was the first time he had ever heard such an explanation from the War God UI!
Gritting his teeth, he let the Earth sword go, allowing it to disappear into the void of space and put his hand on his Inventory Bag.
If it really doesn't work, he was prepared to ignore everyone else's shock and draw the [Bow of Withering Souls].
This was a Dreamscape Soul Artifact that had the power to corrode all things, perhaps it could still be used.
In the void of space, the crimson shadow had slowly turned from blurry to clear.
— — -he could already see its body, which seemed similar to a human's.
It was looking down at the town.
The civilians of the town had all gone to the shelter, so there was nothing on the surface that could attract its attention, except — —
The giant bloody eye slowly moved, leaving two long streaks of bloody light in its wake as it attacked Gu Qing Shan's group.
Everything in its path was destroyed by the bloody eye, leaving only two bottomless ravines on the ground.
"Holy Mother above, how are we supposed to win against this monster?"
Someone muttered in a low voice.
"The town's space has been sealed — — - we can't escape!" another knight exclaimed in shock.
Moore's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, holding the clan's emblem in his hand as he hurriedly said something, apparently to pass on a message.
He suddenly put the emblem away and shouted: "We can't escape, everyone, prepare for battle!"
Everyone drew their weapons.
All of a sudden, the giant bloody humanoid figure abruptly looked up.
The two streaks of bloody light on the ground quickly left the town and shot towards the boundless darkness of the night.
The humanoid figure seemed to have noticed something and disappeared in a flash.
It had left.
Everyone had already prepared themselves to fight to the death, but the monster simply vanished without a trace.
A second later.
Gu Qing Shan and Moore both flashed and disappeared.
A black streak of light flew through the night, passing where they originally stood.
The black streak of light struck a wall and slowly manifested.
It was a whole black carapace.
Its head consisted of a single pair of large pincers full of sharp teeth.
「 Save … save … 」
It spoke to everyone.
Everyone fell into a state of complete confusion.
What exactly is going on?
Seeing that no one reacted, another black streak of light descended from the void of space and fused with the black carapace.
The carapace coiled around itself and slowly disappeared, leaving only a thick mass of black ink where it was.
The mass of black ink suddenly turned into a pair of pincers that tore at both sides.
"What … is it doing?"
Crow couldn't help but ask.
A second later, a large hole was ripped open in the void of space.
This hole was filled with murky water, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Following the wind, a dark, evil, and rotten aura drifted out from the hole.
The wall that the pair of pincers attached itself to quickly turned into a crazily writhing wall of flesh.
Everyone had never seen such a thing before, so they all held their breaths.
But Gu Qing Shan knew that the other side must be the extinct monster world.
He silently released his inner sight to look into the hole.
The hole seemed to be a deep ocean.
Within the boundless murky water, there was a crimson shadow that connected heaven and earth.
— — -it was the monster from before!
Its hand was as large as a mountain, holding a struggling black shadow.
Two blood-red glows shone through the murky water to illuminate the black shadow, showing that the crimson shadow was staring at the black shadow, causing the black shadow to reveal its true form.
It was a giant crab with a carapace full of sharp black spikes.
The giant crab was madly struggling, but couldn't escape from the crimson shadow's grasp.
「 You … only … you … I've been waiting for you … 」
「 Save me!
」 For some reason, it was able to sense Gu Qing Shan's inner sight and spoke into Gu Qing Shan's inner sight.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Me saving you?
Never mind if I have the ability or not, I won't be able to survive if I provoke that crimson shadow.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it either, I'm not a match for it"
Gu Qing Shan sent her voice.
As he was about to retract his inner sight, the giant crab abruptly exploded.
It quickly spoke: 「 I'm hiding here because you are the only one who can save me, I'm on your side! Please help me, I will definitely repay you — — 」
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and retreated his inner sight from the hole.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the giant crab suddenly sent its voice: 「 Wait a minute! I have a message for you, you must save me, Gu Qing Shan! 」
Gu Qing Shan was completely stunned.
The extinct monster world.
This world was filled with monsters that couldn't even be seen in the space vortex.
Why does it know my name?
Could it be a parallel world version of me?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the crimson shadow, gritted his teeth, and retreated.
Outside, everyone was still on high alert.
"Don't come any closer, this hole is too strange, it should be another world on the other side" Moore shouted.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood still.
Even when the War God UI gave him the [Void War God] Quest, he didn't feel this unimaginable.
Too powerful, that crimson shadow is too powerful.
Even if the giant crab brought me a message from another parallel world version, there's nothing I can do to save it.
The final result would most likely be both of us being killed by the crimson shadow.
While he was thinking, his gaze was suddenly attracted by something.
A line of numbers was jumping on the War God UI:
“3:59，”
“3:58，”
“3:57，”
…
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
The War God UI replied: [A countdown of 10 minutes. When the countdown reaches zero, the fragments of the extinct monster world will break free from the overlapping effects and will no longer be able to return to the village]
Gu Qing Shan froze and looked at the number again.
“3:45，”
“3:44，”
Wait a minute — —
It's not over yet!
Gu Qing Shan abruptly released his inner sight into the hole again, diving into the murky seawater.
Only to see that the crimson shadow was doing everything it could to attack the black spiky crab in its hand.
The giant crab was barely able to block it, but was still held tightly in its hand, unable to move.
But it didn't give up right away, instead, it shot out a few sharp spikes that gave off a black glow, causing the crimson shadow to hesitate and pause its attacks.
But after shooting out those spikes, the giant crab was clearly weakened.
"Try your best to hold on for a bit longer, I only have one chance to save you" Gu Qing Shan's voice suddenly came.
Hearing that, the giant crab regained its composure and continued to block the crimson shadow's attacks.
"How much longer?"
"Soon"
…
"How much longer?"
"A bit longer, just hold on for a bit longer"
…
"I can't hold on much longer"
"20 more seconds!"
…
"Farewell, I'm going to die — –"
"I'm coming!"
Following her inner sight, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stabbed the wooden bow into the ground.
On the War God UI, there were only 10 seconds left before the two worlds overlapped.
The first second — —
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and entered the hole in the seawater.
"Shannu, just attract its attention for a bit, then immediately return!"
"Yes, gongzi!"
The fourth second — —
Shannu leapt into the air.
Instantly, boundless black fog enveloped Shannu.
She turned into a dragon and abruptly crashed into the crimson shadow.
The crimson shadow immediately raised its head and looked at the Demon Dragon cautiously.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Gu Qing Shan landed in front of the black spiky crab, held it down with her left hand and took out a black leather book with her right.
The sixth second — —
At this point, Shannu's black dragon form had already disappeared.
She only needed to draw its attention to complete her mission.
In the blink of an eye, she had teleported back to the small town.
Gu Qing Shan quickly chanted: "The life and death of all things is but an instant, with my power of Condemnation, your suffering shall surely be relieved — — -"
"[Divine Word], Cleanse"
— — the final second!
The black leather book gave off a holy white light that struck the crimson shadow's hand.
It let go.
— — time was up!
Gu Qing Shan and the black spiky crab abruptly disappeared.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
A single wooden bow silently floated in the murky seawater.
The overlapping of the two worlds had ended.
Roar!!!!
The crimson shadow roared helplessly.
